Stepping up from his crucial, but secondary role in the U-19 World Championship, Stojacic was the main scoring sidekick for Macvan on the Serbian team this time, a deadly shooter when left open to compliment the spaces generated by his star teammate.

Stojacic is a wing with the size of a shooting guard, but with little of the creative game you often look for in that position. Not a great slasher, he still can attack his match-ups going both ways, looking for the layup or the pull-up jumper, but rarely to dish the ball to an open teammate. His ball-handling skills and first step are somewhat average, while hes not that prolific in his drives, preferring to fill the shooting role. Thats where he feels at home, delivering his perfectly shaped jumper, a fluid effort that usually ends up with the ball in the net. He was really effective from three-point range, while he showcased his nice ability to pull up off the dribble, always showing remarkable balance on the release.

A nice defender, Stojacic doesnt save effort on this end and shows solid lateral quickness. Pretty strong for his age and well-built, hes not a guy who stands out with his athleticism, but he does enjoy enough to get the job done. Obviously, it does limit his future potential, but theres no reason to think that he cant become a very solid player on the European scene.

Coming off the bench for Serbia, Stefan Stojacic provided a valuable scoring punch thanks to his shooting stroke, either in spot-up fashion or going off the dribble. Not particularly quick, but a nice defender nevertheless, he might be a bit one dimensional at this point and not particularly tall at 6-5. Still he's very young, having been born in 1989.
